EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1880, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the bustling world of Constantinople and the Bosporus. Titled "Cours des chemins de fer orientaux vue generale" it captures a panoramic view of the Eastern Railway Court and its surrounding buildings. The image is part of Pierre de Gigord's remarkable collection of photographs showcasing both the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey. The scene comes alive through Sebah and Joaillier's skilled use of albumen printing, which beautifully enhances every detail. From Stambul/Sirkedschi (Bahnhof), we witness an array of people going about their daily lives amidst this vibrant cityscape. The architectural grandeur is evident in each structure, reflecting both tradition and modernity. Notably, ink inscriptions on the mount below provide additional context for this historical snapshot: "No. 421" indicates its unique identification within de Gigord's extensive collection, while "cours des chemins de fer orientaux: vue generale des batiments" further describes its subject matter. As we admire this photograph print, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a visual record capturing an era long gone by. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our understanding of Constantinople and Turkey today.
